Yes... although I don't read Trevor's email as suggesting that he
thought that I thought it was not possible.
(I _think_ I wrote that correctly...)
Anyway, what does the texinfo manual say about @-commands in node

(I'm not proposing that we change this immediately, since it seems
to work... although we haven't checked that it works in all output
formats... but it would be nice to know for a general case, and
possibly change it in the future)
